I don't have much to report. Worked has consumed the past 3 weeks of my life. I thought at least I would meet a cutie at an airport bar, but no such luck. Maybe it is good, because I look like a total disaster - sleep deprived and dehydrated. I need a spa weekend!
I have written off South Beach. Last time I talked to him was a 1 1/2 weeks ago. coming to terms that he is not into me or he would call more often, made an effort to see me, etc. Number is deleted from the phone (I did a search to make sure it was totally deleted in call logs, old voicemails, text messges, etc) and I threw away the hard copy of his number I had at the office (big step).
I have a couple of potential set ups in the pipeline, but I need to recover from the past few weeks before I reappear on the social scene. I met a guy in Orlando last week and he wants to set me up with one of his friends. The guy has called and texted a few times. I am going to call him next week.
Just wanted to post so you didn't think I feel off the face of the earth. Hope everyone is having a great start to the new year!

More on texting...
2 Girls 2 minutes...
I was perusing the flirttexting website and found these girls. Yes, I am procrastinating. Stupid YouTube videos, but applicable to my life. Thought I would post one that seems to be most relevant in my life right now and correlates with NYs resolution #1

The Great Escape
Last night was a good friend's birthday party and it was a great 1st test of my New Years resolutions.
1) NO drunk texting, email, facebook messages or phone calls CHECK - NO CALLS OR TEXTS
2) Try not to become obsessed with someone until after 3 dates CHECK - NO PROBLEM ON THIS ONE
3) Avoid public makeout sessions - CHECK AND I EVEN WENT TO WAFFLE HOUSE
As the night was wrapping up, I met a cute guy. I was hungry and wanted to go to Waffle House. After my friends threatened the life of the guy, I was allowed to go to Waffle House with him. During the course of our WH meal, I discovered he was 24! I welcome cougar comments now. He was also really drunk and I just wanted to leave. I went to the bathroom and sat down at a table with a girl and 2 guys instead of going back to my table. They devised a plan to distract the 24 year old and sneak me out of WH. Its funny now, but why didn't I just tell him I was leaving and go home. Instead I had to be dramatic and plan a getaway. I ran out the door of Waffle House and hopped in a cab and actually told the cab driver to hurry and "go, go, go" like the guy was going to run after the cab.

I met the Flirttexting Authors
I was out in NYC last night and talking to a couple guys. We ventured onto the topic of texting and I brought up the book Flirttexting. Turns out the guys were at the bar with the authors of the Flirttexting. They introduced me. It was funny because they were totally normal, just like any of my girlfriends. Anyway...not that they are celebrities, but it was cool to meet them in person and talk to them for a while.
Independence
Warning...this is not a funny post - it a this is what I was thinking today and wanted to put it out there. While I have dedicated about 98% of this blog to dating stories, I think it is important to see the whole me which includes my feelings...Don't worry, these serious blogs will be few and far between. While the dating pipeline is totally empty, there will be stories of crazy nights out on the town.
Do you think some people are meant to be with someone and and that there are people that are not meant to be with anyone. Can the person going through life without a companion really be happy?
I realized this week how much I resented my ex-h for holding me back. This is a very selfish statement - but I love being able to do what I want when I want to. I feel like I have always been this way and very much resented that my ex-h was so uptight and a total planner which limited my opportunities to do anything - not to mention the financial constraints. I am so happy with my life right now. It's far from perfect, but I can truly say that I am the happiest I have ever been, but today I had fears about the future (not the immediate future, but down the road).
On Wednesday, a friend called and said she would be in NYC this weekend and they had an extra spot for their dinner reservation, would I like to join them? So Wednesday night, I changed my travel plans and decided to go to NYC on Friday for the night. In my past life, I would have never been able to do that. I love the freedom associated with making decisions like that.
I had an amazing time last night and today - it was one of my favorite trips. BUT I started thinking, it won't always be like this. Right now I have an amazing group of friends most of who are married or at least dating, but don't have kids yet so they still go out, take trips, etc and it is nothing for me to tag along and we always have a fabulous time. One thing I am very thankful for is that I don't mind not having a date (most of the time anyway). However, today I came to the harsh realization that it won't be this way forever. Friends will begin having kids and their nights out and trips will become less frequent - their focus, as it should, will focus on their family and not on nights out to yummy restaurants and weekend trips. I am so excited where everyone is in their life, but it scared me. I know my friends will always be there, but our time together will change.
What if I am one of those people who is meant to be alone. I had my chance and love and it didn't work and that's it for me. Will my thrill of independence turn to loneliness as everyone in my life moves onto the next chapter and I am still in the same place??? Am I destine to sit a nice restaurant bars and eat by myself?

25 1st Dates...continues into 2010
I didn't meet the 25 first date challenge (or even the 15 first date challenge). Of course I don't like to fail, but I did put myself out there, met a lot of guys and had interesting experiences. It has been fun to go on dates and meeting guys, but I think I need to ease up and not worry so much about finding someone to date and just let it happen.
I am still up for dating and excited about it, but I am going to take it easy for a while. However, I will keep up the 25 1st date challenge in 2010...maybe I will hit the mark by the big 3-0!

2010 Resolutions
These are going to be VERY challenging!
1) NO drunk texting, email, facebook messages or phone calls
2) Try not to become obsessed with someone until after 3 dates
3) Avoid public makeout sessions
I am willing to take suggestions on more resolutions...

My name is Lexi
So I broke 2 of my New Year’s resolutions before I had a chance to post them. I like this blog because it can be funny and is a good way of keeping up with all my stories, but it is embarrassing to admit what I do. At least you know I am honest about what happens!
Failed Resolutions
1) No more drunk texting
2) No making out in public
Seriously, I am out of control…what is wrong with me. I am becoming a full on skank (J, I am beginning to think you were right).
Last night I went out with one of my new single girlfriends – Estella. I knew it was going to be trouble because she is too much like me. Then we started taking shots. Really…why do I need to take shots – can’t I just have a few drinks and enjoy the night without getting obliterated. Obviously not. To give you an indication of how ridiculous we were, we made up drunk names and those are the names we are going to use when we are out. Her name is Estella and mine is Lexi.
After my thrid shot, I texted Ole Miss to see where he was. Guess he was on my mind from the call earlier this week.
Sidebar – I actually had his number. I received a Merry Christmas text from a number not in my phone and it turned out to be him.
Anyway, Ole Miss texted back and Estella and I met up with him and his friends. We chatted for a little while and then he started talking to a blonde headed girl and was not paying attention to me – tunrs out the blonde girl was his ex-girlfriend. As time elapsed, Estella and I aren’t sure how many, but we have several more shots – we think at least 3 more. I then kissed one of Ole Miss’ friends – I assume it was a sad & pathetic attempt to make him jealous. Estella and I left the bar around 1:30/2 which was a good thing…don’t worry, before leaving I made out with Ole Miss’ friend again. I am mortified at my behavior. Which is better, making out at Waffle House or in the middle of a bar?
I don’t remember the cab ride home or going inside, but I received a text from Ole Miss after I got home and texted him back asking him to come over. Next thing I know, I wake up fully dressed down to my boots on my couch at 5am and my condo door is unlock – really safe. I don’t remember Ole Miss coming over and don’t think he did because the last text from him was asking for my address and I didn’t find a text in my sent folder responding.
Needless to say, I am super hung-over right now and totally mortified – I am more embarrassed about this than my text stalking event. Good news is that Estella scored a date out of the situation so the night was not a total disaster.
Need to work on my New Year’s resolutions that are obviously going to have to start tomorrow.
